Hi remoulder, yes, the lightning add-on is installed with the correct version and enabled in the Tools.

I'm curretnly running the last updates (Thunderbird 16.0.1 + Lightning 1., but the problem was present in all the previous version.note: I've put my Thunderbird profile on a FAT32 partition (to share with W......s). Problem with permissions ? Altough I can store my emails without issues.

That's quite likely to be the issue and sorry but no idea how to solve it. You could try a different profile on the linux partition as a test perhaps? FWIW running the same versions here without issue, now or previously so the problem is with your setup. Probably not a permissions issue, more likely something to do with both linux and Windows writing to the profile?

[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

Running LM14_64, TB17.0, and Lightning 1.9. My calendar events are not showing up in the right time. Going to Preferences -> Calendar -> Timezones, I can't select anything.

I even tried from within a new appointment, Options -> Show Timezones, and tried selecting from there. No luck. It shows the map with UTC/GMT highlighted, and I can't change it.

I'm running the exact same TB/Lightning versions on my Ubuntu 12.04 laptop, and do not have the same problem. Which is why I'm thinking this is Mint14(or 12.10?) specific issue.

Thank you.

FWIW: The date/time/timezone is correct (and changeable) on the Mint/Cinnamon settings, just fine.

SOLVED IT! I forgot about the manual config in Mozilla products ...I went into Prefernces -> Advanced -> General/Config Editor. Changed the calendar.timezone.local to "America/New_York" Doesn't solve the weirdness completely, but gets around it for sure!
